You're right, if anyone was rational we'd all wear helmets in the car all the time.

It's all irrationality and a belief that cars are much safer than we pretend they are.

As someone who has worn a helmet in the car from time to time, a lot of cars don't even leave enough headroom available for someone 6' tall to wear the helmet without their head hitting the ceiling.
